People are never going to happy with whatever Microsoft does so they were doomed from the beginning but I don't like the system at all. You have to navigate and click your way through a shitload of stuff just to complete a simple task.

They need to go back and look at all the reasons XP was so wildly popular and is still referenced to this day.

Fuck does this mean any new pc you buy in the future wil have wndows 8 and you can't downgrade?

I'm pretty sure you'll always be able to downgrade, I don't think that'll be taken away.

I personally don't have a problem with it, sure it's different and obviously meant for the tablet market but other than it being different I haven't had any problems.

However, where I work I am avoiding Windows 8 like the plague. Since most of my users are 40+ years old, and very few are that tech savy, I do not want the headache of trying to get them accustomed to it. I will be sticking with Windows 7 for as long as possible.
